About all I do now is hem Ken's jeans when he get new ones as his size in in between what you can buy already hemmed so I cut the original hem off & turn it up another hem length. Have fun sorting through you clothes today while I clean our bathrooms LOL.

About the only sewing I've done is years is to mend things and make baby bibs. I used to sew more but never did like anything I made for myself. I took all the sewing in high school, that I could...even made a coat.
